The argument that the sale of whisky
should not be prohibited because it would
deprive the state of the revenue derived
from the license tax, and thus increase
the ad valorem tax, is simply monstrous.

ers should be licensed, baWdY houses Civ
en- charters of privilege, obscene exhibl--
lions tolerated and brutal prize fighters
permitted to engage in their bloody en-
counters, provided they pay license tax,
and then lessen the ad valorem tax, and
make the burden of supporting the gov
eminent fall lighter upon the farmers,
and others in legitimate, decent, honest
occupations. The argument has been
advanced time and again. 1t is an
appeal to the cupidity and peck

that the people are too noble and high
minded to tolerate evil because it will
save them few dollars in taxes.-TAus-

devotion to his party and his convictions,
his bold stand for what he considers
